Cisco ONE for Data Center Compute Integration Guide
Introduction
Overview
Cisco ONE for Data Center Compute helps to build a comprehensive automation platform. It aids in managing and upgrading infrastructure and network software at a reduced cost. Cisco ONE for Data Center Compute also secures private and hybrid cloud deployments for both physical and virtual environments; hence increasing IT agility. Above all, it enables automated, policy-based cloud computing. This assures secure mobility of workload and resources between different cloud models in compliance with all the policies.
Cisco ONE for Data Center Compute provides the following modules to automate and manage hybrid-ready cloud instances:
Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite
Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite provides a set of tools that supports self-service ordering, monitoring, and lifecycle management of private and hybrid cloud instances. You can use Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite to automate and manage your on-premise private cloud instances and to enable IT infrastructure and resources. Additionally, it supports secured access to hybrid cloud resources along with workload deployment across private and public clouds.
Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite supports modular automation across all layers of the organization. Modular automation furnishes flexibility to subdivide the automation of an existing infrastructure with minimal impact on productivity.
Cisco ONE Foundation for Compute
Cisco ONE Foundation for Compute automates provisioning of virtual private data centers, supports self-service ordering of compute resources your Cisco UCS, and manages your Cisco UCS and multi vendor compute infrastructure. Cisco ONE Foundation for Compute includes Intercloud Fabric for Business (ICFB) and supports deployment of virtual workloads to public clouds.
